Question
Recently i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and he did the pull out method and two days later i came on my period but it was lighter than usual i'm usually heavy and crampy. Is there a chance i could end up pregnant?

Answer
Dear Megan,

The way most women get pregnant from the pull out method is that the guy doesn't actually pull out in time.  In your case, since you got your period you are not pregnant.  The bleeding you are having could not be implantation bleeding because 2 days is too soon for an embryo to implant if you were pregnant.

Good luck,

Deb
